Hi,
I have 3 vSphere 5.1 with 2 iSCSI 10Gb cards with 2 virtual iSCSI ports each, and an IBM DS3524 dual controllers with 2 10Gb port on each controller.
I have declared the 4 iSCSI IPs in a VMWare server, for each iSCSI HBA, and all path, including ALUA support (active/passive controller) are ok.
When i add the storage pool in another server, only half of the paths are coming to active, and the path that should be active with no E/S are marked as Dead: so only one controller work for those, and if it comes offline, the storage is dropped instead of being backuped up.
Since i have no information from IBM, does anyone has any clue about this?
Regards,
Patrick
